"Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen". (Lk 2:19-20)
Our experience of God is something to keep and ponder in our heart first of all because it is not something to be consumed right at that moment. A God-experience is not meant to burn, rather, it is meant to warm the heart, freeing it of all self-centered and egoistic concerns.
Only then can we be like the shepherds who glorify and praise God from the heart. We don't force others to accept God; rather, we share our experience of God.
